Today, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) voted to pass the bipartisan Major Richard Star Act and issued the following statement:
Today, the House passed the bipartisan Major Richard Star Act - legislation that would invest $12 billion in our veterans and ensure that combat-disabled veterans receive the care, benefits, and retirement pay they've earned.
Today's vote is a win for veterans and veteran families across the country. As the bill now heads to the Senate, I implore my Senate colleagues to pass this common-sense bill.
